Congratulations on your retirement Mark.
Thanks for the memories. Without doubt my standout moment with Mark Skaife behind the wheel was his unforgettable performance in The Great Race of 2006.
I literally watched it over and over and punched the air here in my loungeroom as Mark tried to conquer The Mountain that year.
It is a huge reflection on the man that he is outside of racing that will see that performance as the one many of us will savour and remember him by long after his retirement.

A great shame to lose one of the all time greatest sports men, but for me, like with David Coulthard, it is the right time for him to bring the curtain down on his career.

N.B. RodF - In 2006 Skaife's Bathurst ended in the wall on the opening lap, so I think you have your years wrong

Slainton. When you describe how Skaife's 2006 Bathurst campaign came to an end it confirms to me that I did indeed have my years correct. :)

RodF sounds like a bitter Ford supporter who cannot stand the fact that a driver for the 'other side' is V8's most successful!!

I'm sure you're qualified to make comments like that because you could easily win Bathurst at least 5 times...

Don't get me wrong, Mark Skaife in his prime was a hugely talented driver and deserves all the accolades he receives. The bloke wasn't exactly known for his honourable dealings or people skills though and had a special knack for rubbing many he came into contact with the wrong way. Skaife's driving talent was nothing compared to his talent for whingeing and whining.
